Overnight in Tallinn

1st highlight: Tallinn city tour - all day
Today's tour starts at Tallinn Town Hall, the best preserved medieval town hall in Northern Europe. From there we stroll through the cozy streets of the old town, where the witnesses of a centuries-old history are: the House of the Blackheads from the 16th century, the house of the Great Guild, the Holy Spirit Church from the 14th century and many more. To get to know the exciting history and legends of the city, we take an exciting journey through time: from the Livonian Order of the 8th century to the Soviet era of the last century.

2nd highlight: free time
In the afternoon, you are free to explore the old town on your own, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. We recommend visiting local boutiques here or strolling across the Christmas market. Thanks to the central location of our hotel, you can easily return to the hotel on foot at any time.

Overnight in Tallinn

1st highlight: Visit to Kadriorg Castle - full day
On the 3rd day of our trip we will visit the real pride of Tallinn - the magnificent Kadriorg Palace and its park ensemble. The castle was a gift from Emperor Peter the Great (1672-1725) to his wife Katharina. The second name of the palace comes from her: "Catherinethal". The summer residence of the emperor was built at the beginning of the 18th century in the Baroque style according to the vision of the Italian architect Nicola Michetti, who was also involved in the construction of the Petershof Palace in St. Petersburg. Today the palace and park complex have been restored and reopened to the public, where we can see hundreds of paintings by Western and Russian artists from the 16th - 20th century, as well as prints, sculptures and other works in the palace's art museum.

2nd highlight: free time
The rest of the day is at your disposal. We recommend you to take a look at the Katharinen way (Estonian Katariina käik) in the old town. The center of the St. Catherine's Guild is located in this dreamy and almost fairytale-like alley. Most of the houses there date from the 15th-17th century and due to their historical appearance, were repeatedly used as film sets.

Option: dog sledding tour
In the afternoon, you have the opportunity to take part in a dog sledding tour near Tallinn. Dog sledding is a traditional means of transport for the people of the north. Most often used as sled dogs, the Siberian huskies are very strong and can pull the sled across the snow-covered plains at incredible speeds. Plus, these dogs are known for their social nature and love the attention of visitors. That is why the excursions on a wonderful winter day are not only a pleasure for the people, but also for the dogs.

1st highlight: excursion to Lahemaa
On the last day of the year you take a trip to Lahemaa - the oldest national park in Estonia. On a hike through the park we enjoy the natural heritage of the country and breathe the fresh air of the Estonian forests. Lahemaa is located on the north coast of Estonia and is an ideal place for nature experiences in almost untouched surroundings. Here you will find picturesque pine and cliff forests, moors and stony and sandy beaches right on the shores of the Baltic Sea. The national park is home to numerous native mammals such as moose, foxes and hares. You will make a photo stop at the Jägala waterfall and enjoy lunch during the tour. You will also visit the Palmse manor and the maritime museum in Käsmu.
Duration: approx. 6 h

Option: Festive New Years Dinner
In the evening, a New Year's Eve dinner will be prepared in a local restaurant downtown.

2nd highlight: New Year's Eve party
Then you have the opportunity to take part in the folk festival that is being prepared on the town's market square. At this time, live music is usually already playing from stages and the locals congratulate each other on a year of survival. Exactly at midnight you can see beautiful New Year fireworks on the Freedom Square (Estonian Vabaduse väljak) and greet the New Year together with your lovable hosts by shouting "Head uut aastat!" (Happy New Year!).

Highlight: day of relaxation and free time
You are free to design today as you wish.
